On July 10th 1999, me, my dad, and my friend went to the Pokemon Mall
of America activity. There was a very long line, and a lot of people, but
when we got to the front, we got a whole bunch of free stuff, like a Bulbasaur
card, a battle pad for the card game, Pokemon stickers, and they stamped
our hands so we could go on the activities.

The activities were a demonstration of the game boy game on big screen
TVs, and introducing the yellow version (coming October this year). We
also had our picture taken with a giant pikachu card.
I also got to battle another person playing the pokeman card game.
